Hey thanks for the advice. EasyBCD allowed me to edit the bootloader, but I am still unable to format my Vista drive. This was the first OS on my HTPC, so I'm guessing that's where all the boot files are etc. I think I'll have to move them too somehow.

hmmm two drives one primary and the other secondary looks like your vista install is on the primary hdd and this is where win7 would have placed its bootloader files and because windows wont allow you to format the partition that holds the boot files so your only (easiest) hope is to re-install win7 on the primary Hdd then format the secondary disk thats how i'd do it

thats great news satch it's similar story to when you install windows on a raid array it'll try and stuf its bootloader files on any other disk that isn't in a raid type array very annoying so i just unplug the power to all drives i dont want to use and then plug them back in after the install
